The Sun. — London, England, 1836-02-27 00:00:00

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1836. The Parliamentary Report, contained in last night's Sun, will he received in Ireland with unbounded joy by all Reformers, and with as extreme vexation by all Orangemen. In the House of Lords, the " Imperial Grand Master" himself declared, that "in conse quence of what had taken place elsewhere, having seen the Address to his MAJESTY, and his MAJESTY'S gracious answer to it, he and those who acted with him, proceeding, according to those principles which always had been the rule of their conduct, had felt that they ought to lose. no time in calling on the Orange men of Ireland to dissolve their Associations, and the same steps would be taken with respect to the English body." In the Commons, Lord J. RUSSELL read a letter from his Royal Highness to the same effect. Thus, then, the Orange Association is extinct. The incubus is removed from the chest of Ireland, and she may breathe freely. Yes, a final stop is put to that bigotted, tyrannical system — in which, however, the author of the Tamworth Mani festo could see nothing unconstitutional—which has so long paralyzed the best energies of Irishmen ; which has subjected an enlightened majority to the caprices of an intolerant minority ; substituted in every in stance might for right ; invaded the most sacred re cesses of private life, and set at naught all the decen cies of society—and this, under the flimsy pretext of promoting the principles of the Constitution, and the sacred cause of religion. Had it not been for the dis astrous influence of Orangeism, the beneficial effects of Catholic Emancipation would have been felt long ere this. But scarcely had this great remedial mea sure began to work, than its healing properties were neutralized by the Ascendancy system. Every where the baleful influence of this system was felt. It made justice a mockery, and even religion itself a mo nopoly—a mere matter of trade. But, thank Heaven, it is now annihilated Were the most bigotted among the Tories to take office to-morrow, they would never be able to revive the Protestant Ascendancy system. It is dead, without hope of resurrection. We suppose it was this conviction that induced the Duke of CUM BERLAND, in his letter to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to state that he " should take immediate stepS to dissolve the Orange Institution in Great Britain." He felt that he could no longer carry on the farce of the Im perial Grand Mastership ; so resigned it with a becom ing grace, as SHARP, the valet, did, when his master had resolved on ejecting him from hiss ituation. How ever, be his Royal Highness's motives what they may, he unquestionably deserves credit for his readiness to co mply with the wishes of his SOVEREIGN. He has set an example of prompt obedience to the laws, which, of course, his Orange brethren, Lords WYN FORD, KENYON, and WINCHILSEA, will follow with equal alacrity. Indeed, we are convinced—such is the high opinion we entertain of the pa triotism of these enlightened statesmen—that no thing will give them greater pleasure, than ',has tening, by all the means in their power, the dissolution of the Orange Societies. Lord I.I.TYNFORD, in par ticular, will be in extacies at the idea of being thus able to parad e his patriotism—so meek and tolerant is he by nature, and so utterly devoid of that rancorous spirit which would sacrifice even the Constitution itself, to promote the triumph of party. And will that philosophic sage, KENYON, be less eager to display his loyalty ? Assuredly not. He, too, will not hesi tate an instant to show his intense devotion to his King, but vie with WINCHILSEA in his zeal to•forget that he was ever a supporter of the Ascendancy sys- tern. Meantime, cheering—most cheering—is the 1 prospect that the dissolution of this system opens to Ireland. She has now a chance of fair play. The fends that have distracted her for ages are on the eve of disappearance, for by this day week not an Orange Society will exist in the sister country. Catholic need no longer fear Protestant ; Protestant need no longer hate Catholic ; but both—the main cause of strife and jealousy removed—may meet on friendly terms, each endeavouring to surpass the other, in his zeal to pro. mote the interests of their common country. We sub join the letter, on the subject of Orange Lodges, read by Lord JOHN RUSSELL last night in the House of Commons, from the Duke of CUMBERLAND. It is the most creditable composition his Royal Highness ever penned : " St. James's Palace, Feb. 26, 1836. " MY LORD, " I have received your Lordship's letter with the enclosed printed copies of the resolutions of the House of Commons containing an address on the subject of Orange Lodges, and other similar Societies, together with his Majesty's most gracious answer. Before I had received your Lordship's communication I bad already taken steps, in conjunction with several official and dis tinguished members of the Loyal Orange Institution in Ireland, to recommend its immediate dissolution, in conformity with the loyal principles of that Institution. I have only to add I shall take immediate steps to dissolve the Loyal Orange Institution in Great Britain. " I have the honour to be, yours sincerely, " ERNEST. " To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell." We beg to congratulate the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Oxford, and his friends, relatives, and acquain tances, within the seventh degree of consanguinity and affinity, upon his finished enunciation of an elaborate essay on the affairs of Spain in the House of Com mons last night. Digressions of this kind, from the ordinary and common-place business of Parliamentary legislation, must, if followed up, be a great relief to the House, as also afford some respite to public attention throughout the country. Accordingly we find by the report of the debate that the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex—never absent, and never inattentive when questions of importance are under consideration—was enjoying a tranquil slumber during the greater part of the time the House was converted into a debating club, for the better display of the virgin oratory of Mr. MACLEAN. And although many Members of much influence in the House were able to resist the narcotic influence of this Gentleman's eloquence, it was evident that there was a powerful struggle going for ward between the weakness of the flesh and the will ingness of the spirit. But, to speak seriously, what must the country think of the legislative capacity of a gentleman who thinks proper to interrupt the business of Parliament, in order that he may have an opportunity of displaying his knowledge of the law of nations ? Mr. MACLEAN had no motion to make—no resolution to move. His sole object was to deliver himself of a speech, we dare affirm, written and re-written a dozen times over, with a view no doubt of being appointed pre ceptor to the Foreign Secretary. And yet we ques tion whether in the whole course of our life we read a speech so tame, so prosy, so absolutely good for nothing, as that of the Hon. Member for Oxford. In attempting to grapple with the question by the aid of historical precedents, he lost himself as completely as ever did Irishman in a bog on a misty day. Of the fo reign relations of England under ELIZABETH, he proved himself deplorably ignorant ; while of the prece dents which the negotiations of JAMES I. with the Court of Madrid supplied, he appeared to know nothing whatever. His speech from first to last was one dull uninteresting string of common-places—of worn-out prudential maxims—and of threadbare inter national theories, more fitted for the meridian of such pigmy states as Modena, Naples, and Sardinia, than powerful kingdoms, such as Great Britain and France. Very different from the twaddling common-place exhibition of the Hon. Member for Oxford, was the lucid and straightforward speech of the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Most cordially do we'congratulate Lord PALMERSTON on his candour with respect to the Spanish question. Nothing could tend more directly to raise him in the opinion of this country—to draw a veil over his mistakes with respect to Poland—to cause a forgetfulness of the timid reserve which he exhibited in the course of the debate upon Lord DUDLEY STUA RT'S motion—than his open and manly avowal of the interest which England had in the restora tion of tranquillity in Spain, and the permanent success of the cause of Queen ISABELLA 11. The following extract from his speech, contains a fine defence of the principles of the Whig Administration, with respect to foreign interference ;-- " Now, it was for the interest of England that Spain should be free, prosperous, and happy, and that she should receive the benefits of the Constitution which had been granted to her. Mi nisters had been accused of interfering under the mask of non interference ; but with the treaty and the order of council upon the table, it was a misrepresentation to say that it was not their object to interfere.—( Cheers.) They had been accused of med dling too much in the affairs of others ; but as long as Bri tain had commerce to protect, or shores to defend, it was the greatest insanity to contend that she should be debarred from interfering in the affairs of Europe. We had interfered both to our own advantage and that of the countries concerned. Wo had interfered in the case of the Greeks ; they were no longer that nation of robbers by land and pirates by sea they had been reproached with being, but were settling down to the arts of peace, building cities, and cultivating their fields. In the affairs of Belgium they had interfered ; and had Belgium been the worse for it ?—( Cheers.) Instead of being discontented and turbulent as they once were, they were now contented, pros perous, and happily governed by a King of their own choice. They had interfered in the affairs of Portugal, and that coun try, he supposed, had not much reason to complain. They found her wasted by civil war, or rather oppressed by a grinding de spotism, the flower of her nobility in exile, and the g reatest part of their property confiscated. She was now free and prosperous, even the Miguelites buying the national lands, and every act f the Government promising a long career of pro sperity.—(Cheers.) They had been met, then, by the same prophecies that were now repeated as regarded Spain. The success of Donna .Maria was represented as a thing impossible ; it was said that she could never reach Lisbon—that the whole Portuguese nation was for Don Miguel—that all that they did in her support was only time and trouble thrown away—and that every hour they were storing up for themselves political ignominy a nd disgrace. Undoubtedly we were more i ntereste d in the affairs of Spain than we had been in those of countries to which he had already made allusion. The Right Honourable the Member for Tam worth, seeing the plight to which the Honourable Member for Oxford was reduced, entered the lists, with no other view, we should suppose, than to cover his retreat. Had he taken the field as a com batant, he could never have been guilty of such an absurdity as to assert that England ought not to de fend liberal principles in Spain, lest Austria or Rus sia should find in her conduct a precedent for inter fering to establish despotism in States adjacent to their respective territories. That no doubt may be enter tained by the Tories as to the correctness of our re port of the drift of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, we shall quote the passage as we find it in the Times : The Noble Lord (Palmerston) also said " It is for our in terest that there should be a free Government established in Spain." A similar allegation might be made by the despotic Governments of the continent as their justification for checking the growth of na scent f ree d om i n any o f t h e S ta t es in their It einity.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) Prussia or Austria, for instance, might allege, " Our interests are opposed to the establishment of democracy, or to the maintenance of popular government, in the neighbourhood of our territories, and on the sane principle on which England, possessing a popular government awl a free constitution, has interfered in Spain to procure the establishment of a similar political system in that country, do we justify oupsalves in promoting a system of despotism, and in crushing the first attempts to establish a just and rational liberty." Looking at this argument in a rational point Pf view, what does it amount to ? Why simply to this t i‘ Physicians have often told you that sea-bathing re. moves many disorders to which persons At 44.* And such habits are subject. Do you not see that persons may drown themselves under a similar pretence ? You, w - o are in your senses, may judge it salubrious to have recourse to a bath ; but remember that insane persons may cite your example in favour of a means of abridging the period of human life. Men shoot their enemies in battle. Now, going on the abstract prin ciple of shooting, may not this practice be perverted into a precedent by those who may be extravagaw, enough to meditate shooting themselves ?" But .;,,h at really able Statesman would offer Such a reason for the prevention of any act done, or contemplated to be done, by a free Government ? Besides, Sir ROBERT PEEL knows—quite as well as we do— that neither Austria nor Russia are indiffe rent spectators of the war in Spain. He knows right well that without the secret assistance of these Powers DON CARLOS never would have been able to raise the standard of rebellion in the Basques. He knows too that these Powers waited not for the initia tive in England when liberty was to be abolished in Poland. The downfall of that brave but hun appy country was one of natural consequences—of an atten tion to such Tory maxims on the part of the Free Governments of England and France, as that pro pounded by the Right Hon. Baronet. The whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday have been received. Their contents furnish no matters of any interest. From the general tone of the Press we are inclined to doubt the permanence of the new Cabinet. The Debais clearly intimates that another dissolution is by no means improbable, the more espe cially as Ministers have been coldly received by both Chambers. . .• , a.'• • . . .. . ~,,,,.; _ . • •• . , 1-_.. e 1 5 . : , , , ,.....,..e ... z . -•,, .......•,....--crk .....1. 0 ,---,„ •• .. „ L ye' - A ~ , ZI);e )1,.t:1x, .---- PRICES Or:STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

PARIS, Fits. 25.—The Moniteur has no official article this morning. The following news is said to be certain :—Count Pozzo di Borgo is completely in disgrace ; he is recalled from the Embassy at London, and is appointed Minister Plenipo tentiary of Russia at Florence.—Gazette de France. The convocation of Ancona is £0 far from being in contem plation, that a transport is to be sent from Toulon to Oran to take on board the 4th battalion of the 66th Regiment, and convey it to Ancona. It seems that the Austrian Government is contemplating some kind of amnesty for its Italian States. Prosecutions commenced for political offences have even been suspended. NV e have received the Moniteur Alyerien of the 13th of February, which contains s9veral decrees, all signed by Lieut. General Rapatel, in the absence of the Governor-General. Not a word is said of Marshal Clausel, or of the expedition to Ilemecen. The Manilla Journals of the 20th of February, which were delayed, are now received ; they, too, have no news from Africa. It is time that this cruel suspense should cease. The following is the official notice of the Government of Cracow, dated, like the other documents already published, Feb. 9 :—" The Senate has received from the resident Charges d'Affaires of the three protecting Powers accredited to our Government, the communication of a note, declaring that it is the will of their respective Courts, that every Pole, whether of the military profession or not, who took part in the Polish revolution of 1831, as officer, subaltern, or private, and who is residing in the City of Cracow, or its territory, if l ie cannot prove that he has a legal passport, or special lice nse given by the competent authorities of the protecting Powers, shall be obliged immediately to quit the C ty of Cracow, and repair to Podgorze. Whoever can prove that a Government consents to receive him, shall receive the necessary assist ance to enable him to proceed to his destination. All the others shall be sent to America. The Courts have declared that in dividuals of this class, holding in this country a civil or mili tary employment, even if they have received from the Govern ment the rights of citizens, shall not be ezemi.ted from this new resolution. The Senate, making this communication generally known, and informing those concerned, desires those to whom this resolution is directed, to repair, within six days to Podgorze, and to present themselves to the Aus trian authorities, who were instructed to receive them. The Senate thinks it necessary to warn individuals comprised in this ordinance, that in case the evacuation should not be com pleted within the term of eight days, conformably to the will of the august Courts, they will feel themselves obliged to secure the execution of these resolutions by certain measures. The Senate hopes that the individuals designated will hasten to conform to the notice which is given them, to prevent these measures, which would secure to them the immediate protec tion of the said Governments, and preserve our city from evils which will be inseparable from the non-fulfilment of this resolution.—The President of the Senate, Feb. 9, 1836.

The foreign debt of Spain consists of three sorts of Stock— Active, Passive, and DeferrecL The first, which comprehends the Loans contracted previous to '1823, and the Royal Loans down to 1832, bears interest in the usual way. With this it is not intended to meddle. The two other portions consist of the Loans contracted by the Cortes, which the Spanish Government, during the life of FERDINAND, and, indeed, down to the end of the year 1834, refused to sanction. At that period a sort of compromise was made with the Cortes bond-holders, whose claims were recognised to a certain extent. A portion of this debt was con verted into Passive Stock, bearing no interest, to be redeemed (but at no definite period) by the funds arising out of the sale of national property. Out of the remainder was created the Deferred Stock, the interest on one-twelfth of which was to com mence in 1838, a twelfth being admitted to the same privilege every successive year, up to 1849, when the whole of this Stock would become Active—that is to say would bear interest. These two kinds of Stock amount to upwards of twenty millions, and the effect of such a mass of inert paper (for the Passive is not worth more than 15 and the Deferred than 23 per cent. of their nominal tthe e vfeval ue) Stock,p ai Spain, n thebby lowering and to Money-marketmbahr embarrass s i e rtel side credit tfiwnai weightnh financial a down foreign ope rations nations. Th e aut h or o f the Plan to which we have alluded (M. ABITBOL), proposes to re store the credit and replenish the Treasury of Spain by converting both these Stocks into one, on the following terms :—viz. that very holder of Passive to the amount of 2801., or of Deferred to the amount of 1681., shall, on advancing 201. in cash, receive a Bond for 1001., bearing 6 per cent. interest. The result, according to M. ABITBOL'S calcula tions, would be, that in addition to the accommodation of a loan of two millions derived from the 201. ad vances, there would be a saving directly and indirectly of more than a million by the time the last 12th of the Deferred Stock came to bear interest in 1849 ; and after that period an annual saving of 442,000/. The plan has a very plausible appearance on paper, and M. ABITBOL says that M. MENDIZABAL, to whom it was submitted in August last, is favourable to it. How the creditors of Spain and the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange may regard it, is a 'different question. The pamphlet is published by Royal Exchange. E. WILSON, Letter g and papers from IVladrid to the 17th inst. have been received.

On the same day a de cree 'was published in the Gazette, appointing, in the name of the QUEEN, a junta in every city throughout the kingdom for the protection of all property con fiscated to the benefit of the State. Eight hundred troops left Madrid on the morning of the 16th, to chastise the rebel BATANERO, who was reported to have approached Guadalajara. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

During the whole of yesterday afternoon the Stock Ex change was kept in excitement in consequence of the resigna tion of eighteen of the members of its Committee, who voted in favour of a return of the amount of checks for stock deli vered, in the transactions which arose out of Lakeman's affairs ; and a number of members of the House, who objected to the resolution of the Committee held yesterday, addressed a letter of thanks to those persons who refused to return the amount. In the course of next week it is expected an election will take place for the choice of eighteen new members. • There being no arrivals of importance this morning, and the express from Paris being void of intelligence from Spain, little is doing in either of the markets.

Sir GeorgeW long arrender, B art ., after a absence, has returned to Albemarle -street, front his seat, Lockend, N.B. Shortly after the commencement of the Opera season, Sir George will give a series of musical soirees. Among the cases which will excite a more than or dinary interest at the Hants Assize, is that of Mrs. Bromley, charged with having stolen various articles of property be longing to the Dowager Marchioness of Northampton, in whose service she was. Among the witnesses are the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Northampton, Mr. and Lady Elizabeth Dickens, and Mrs. Admiral Douglas. A few days ago, at the farm of l3leachfield, near Irvine, a cow belonging to Mr. H. Grub, gave birth to three calves, all of which, with the mother, are living and thriving. —Ayr Observer. EARLY NIDIFICATIONS.—On Tuesday, the 16th inst., a sparrow's nest was found under the tiles of the house of Mr. W. Watson, bricklayer, of Nafferton, which contained five eggs, two of which were broken, and proved to contain live birds.— York• Courant. TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.—We are happy to learn that a public meeting of the trades are to be held to-morrow evening in the Buck's Head Hall, to petition Parliament for the Total Abolition of the Taxes on Knowledge. The per severing zeal with which our operatives have long exerted themselves to procure the removal of the infamous restric tions on the diffusion of political information is highly cre ditable to the trades of Greenock. The petition against the taxes on knowledge, lately adopted at a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town, was last night sent off to Mr. Wallace, M. P., for presentation, subscribed by nearly 2,200 persons, being about 500 more than the number of names appended to the petition of last year. We understand that the petition of the joiners and house carpenters of Greenock, for the abolition of the taxes on knowledge, was sent off to Parliament on Saturday night last, subscribed by about 300 individuals. The inhabitants of Gourock are, we heat, about to petition the Le gislature for the repeal of the newspaper tux. What are those of Helensburgh, Dunoon, and Largs about? There are plenty of staunch Reformers in each of these places to get up respectably signed petitions for the abolition of fiscal obstruc tions to the dissemination of useful knowledge among the peo ple.—Greenock Intelligencer. THE DIRECT LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL WAY.—The direct London and Brighton Railway, as pro jected by Sir John Rennie, passed the standing orders of the House of Commons on Thursday last, notwithstanding the unprecedented opposition that was brought against it by the advocates of Messrs. Stephenson's line, and the Bill was last night read a first time in the House of Commons. CHAUBERT, THE FIRE-KING.---ThiS individual, who a few years since excited some curiosity i n L on d on i n con sequence of his daring experiments in chemistry, and who has frequently been reported dead, was two m ont h s s i nce li v i ng i n a state of pptilppEe i tt the Preadwav, York, where he keepi a large chemist's store; under 1.h9 depoinynietion of the ,‘ Fire- King's Store." He drives four horses in his carriage, and was upon the point of marriage with a very rich widow. It is believed Oat he has a wife and family in England, CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR and Mr. Justice BOSANQUET sat this morning, for the purpose of giving judgment in two cases that had been heard before them as Lords Commis- stoners. Till SKINNIRS' COMPANY V. TUE IRISH SOCIETY Their Lordships gave judgment in this case, the facts of which we gave at length at the time it was argued. It was a motion on behalf of the Skinners' Company, and several other Companies of the City of London, for the purpose of removing the Irish Society from being trustees of certain pro perty in Londonderry and Coleraine, which was granted to them during the Irish Rebellion. Their Lordships were of opinion that they could not, upon an interlocutory applica tion, take so strong a course as to remove the Irish Society from being trustees. The motion, therefore, must be dis missed with costs. MANCHESTER AND BOLTON CANAL COMPANY H. GRAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of the Vice Chancellor, threatening the plaintiff to bring an action. The facts of the case were shortly these :—The defendant was proceeding to erect a wall abbutting against a tunnel belonging to the Canal of which the plaintiffs were proprietors. The plaintiffs con sidered that this would be injurious to the tunnel in high tides, and they therefore applied to the Vice Chancellor for an in junction to restrain the defendant from proceeding with his works. His Honour, after hearing the motion, ordered it to stand over, directing the plaintiffs to bring their action, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. The Lord Chancellor directed the parties to try at the next As sizes an issue, for the purpose of ascertaining whether works of the defendant had or might produce injury to the plaintiffs. _ . SLANEY V. WADE. - The arguments in this part-heard case were then proceeded with, and appeared likely to occupy the whole day. Nothing of any public interest occurred either in the Rolls or Vice- Chancellor's Courts. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night, Earl Winchilsea commenced a conversation on the subject of the resolutions against Orange ism, which were recently passed by the Commons, and adopted by the King in his answer. It will be seen that the " illustrious" Duke, with his adherents the Orange-lodge-lords, struck thei colours, and unconditionally surrendered. Henceforth the dangerous and secret Associations which have been a curse to one part of the empire, and might have occasioned civil war in► another, will cease to exist. In the COMMONS, a petition was presented by Captain Pechell, which opened a case of singular hardship suffered by a woman, under the construction of a clause in the New Poor Law Bill. The second reading of the St. Pancras Paving Bill was carried by a majority of 6. Relative to the suppression of Orange Lodges, Mr. Maxwell said, he rose on behalf of the Duke of Cumberland to make known to the Commons that he (the Duke) submitted to their resolutions, and to his Majesty's expressed will and pleasure. A letter to the same effect, from the Royal Duke, was read by Lord John Russell. It was stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that no alteration would be made regarding the allowance to maltsters. A debate, preceded by a little warmth and confusion, occa sioned by Mr. Maclean's determination to make a speech, took place on our policy with regard to Spain. The pro duction of the paper which formed the subject of the motion, was agreed to without a division. The House then went into a Committee of Supply, and at Half•past Twelve adjourned. GERMAN PAPERS. HUNGARY, FEB. 10. --The principle of expropriation for the construction of iron rail roads, bridges, canals, and roads, has been recognised by the Diet as necessary for Hungary, and a law on the subject is in preparation. On tke 9th, in the con tinuation of the debates in the Second Chamber, on a report communicated by the Archduke Palatine, relative to the Lu dovicum (the Military Academy) and in consideration that this academy is to be opened on the Ist of November this year, the Chamber voted an additional grant of 300,000 florins. The celebrated Count Stephen Saccherini married on the 4th of this month, the widow of Count Zichy, President of the Hungarian Aulic Council. The Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, father of Prince Ferdinand, husband of Queen Donna Maria, has lately purchased a beautiful house at Pesth, situated on the Danube, for 128,000 florins, the late proprietor of which was a tailor. The market town of Szentes, in the county of Czongrad, lately belonging to the family of Count Karoly, has purchased its freedom from his sovereignty for 1,200,000 florins, and is now an independent place. It is said tkat the money has been advanced by the House of Rothschild. Szentes has a popu lation of 15 or 16,000 inhabitants—trade is very dull. The last fair at Debrezin was unfavourable. Of our national pro ductions, potash and soda are rising considerably.--Frankfirt Paper ; Extra Supplement, Feb. 21. IRELAND. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BLACK PITTS.—On Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, a fire broke out in the Vitriol Works of Mr. M'Mullen, situated in the Black Pitts. From the nature of the materials it was found impossible to check the fury of the flames in the part where the fire commenced, and a store of considerable extent was burned nearly to the ground. On the night that the accident occurred, the body of Mr. M'Mul len, jun., was discovered in the ruins, nearly consumed, and frightfully disfigured. On the inquest, Mr. M'Mullen, the father of the deceased was examined, and he deposed that on Tuesday evening he went into his office, accompanied by his son. While they were there, a bottle of ether accidentally broke, and to prevent the consequences likely to result from the vapour coming in contact with a light, all the candles in the office, except one, were extinguished. This they used for the purpose of finding the door, but at the instant it was opened, the explosion took place, and the door was closed, shutting the deceased inside. He then ran into the laboratory adjoining, where some combustible materials were deposited, and these becoming ignited, the deceased could not effect his escape, nor could assistance be rendered him until it was too late. TRIAL BY JUR v.-At the last general meeting of the Orange Lodge, 540, it was resolved that the office of Foreman of the City Grand Jury at the approaching Assizes, would be filled either by the Deputy Grand, or by the Master of the Lodge. The pretensions of the two functionaries are generally can vassed. The Orange Mail is, day after day, heavily laden with abuse of the Irish Constabulary Bill, which it nicknames the Gens d'Arnierie Bill. ANTI-TITHE MEETINGS. —There have been no less than thirteen such meetings lately, in the adjoining county.— Wex ford Paper. Resdutions against paying tithes, have been adopted by several parishes in Waterford. SALE OF LUMP SUGAR FOR MINISTERS' MONEY.-It wag an nounced that, at one o'clock, the sale of six lumps of sugar, seized for ministers' money due in St. Mark's parish, would take place by auction. The sugar was seized from Mr. Bar low, who " respectfully requested the attendance of his friends, that ,the sugar might be disposed of under value." At one o'clock, Mr. Carr had the pleasure of witnessing a numerous. assembly. Some curious proceedings were witnessed, in the attempt to force payment by this mode of seizure. The police were sent for, but the person who had been sent returned, and proclaimed, amidst much laughter, that the police should not be employed in either tithe or ministers' money cases. A gen tleman present said he had offered 10d. per lb. for the sugar, and it was again offered for sale, but no advance was made on the 9d. TITHES IN WEXFORD.—The following paragraph, for the entire accuracy of which, of course, we cannot vouch,. in ex tracted from the Kilkenny Journal of yesterday : " We have just heard that the furniture of the Rev: John Dunn, Parish Priest of Ballingsdaggan, near Enniscorthy, in cluding his bed and small breakfast articles, were lately sold for tithes, claimed by a landlord of the name of Roe, uho, nut content with getting his rent, has also superadded tithe. The gentleman from whom we have received this account says, the poor and quiet Parish Priest' to whom the furni ture belonged, was but a lodger in the house of his brother in-law, Mr. Robert Farrell. He also states that this said landlord, having mixed up tithe with rent, refused to take the latter without the former—that his agent, accompanied by parties of soldiers and police, and the ex-sub-sheriff, at tended, and canted corn, pigs, furniture, &c., and in the end burned a fine stack of wheat; that on the following day a great number of Orangemen's horses and cars, employed to carry away what remained, were intercepted on the way by multitudes of the people, armed with every kind of weapons they could collect. A general meeting of the neighbouring parishes is to take place on Wednesday next to petition Par liament on the subject." Wexford has been hitherto tolerably tranquil. This inci dent, however,- and such incidents as this—for we understand that the country is threatened from more quarters than one— will be productive of tht• consequences, upon which, perhaps, some of the parties calculate. It is certain that the bulk of the population will be brought into hostile collision with the nests of Orangemen, which arc deposited in different parts of the county by the Orange landlords. —Dublin Post. ANOTHER DEATH BY THE REVENUE POLICE.—_A few days ago a man was killed in Mayo by an officer of the Revenue force ; and we have now to announce the death of a woman, occasioned by Revenue policemen at Ballylinan, in the Queen's County. This was a most wanton and outrageous affair I ORANGE OUTRAGE.—ENNISKILL EN , FEB. 22. —The follow ing is the case, as appeared before the Court :—P. Kerr, a Catholic, was the prosecutor. The parties accused were A. Coulter, A. Coulter, his soli, and others, all Orangemen, who wore the emblems of their faction in Court during the inresti. gation. The substance of the complaint was, that on the night of the 15th inst., about the hour of seven or eight o'clock, at Ballydoolagh, near Enniskillen, the defendants assembled nearly opposite the house of complainant, all armed with yeomanry muskets, and loaded with slugs ; that they fired several shots into complainant's house, the contents of one of which broke his windows, and lodged in a sack of meal con venient.—The next case was that of Michael Murphy against the same party, for a similar offoioo, The prosecutors clearly proved their cme, 'he greatest boon ever conferred upon sufferin g mankind, was th e i ntroduction to the notise of the public in general of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS by the useof which ni,,u x of our suffbring brethren have been relieved fl,llla thq asnies tbks laly, as if by some magic charm, thus an krowoust of eNcruciatifig pams, and, vorakoont BarSYtanco tek *iv their families the con fi nement and lei. or ame rTng 'an attack.
